A method for performing a field operation of a field. The method includes identifying, inside a volume of interest representing a portion of the field, that a first surface segment is truncated by a second surface segment, where each of the first surface segment and the second surface segment corresponds to a geological feature in the field, generating, based at least on a first implicit function, an extended first surface segment that includes the first surface segment and a first extension of the first surface segment, generating a number of compartments by dividing the volume of interest using at least the extended first surface segment and the second surface segment, merging, based on a common boundary of at least two of the compartments being within an invalid portion of the extended first surface segment, the at least two compartments into a single merged compartment, and performing, based at least on the single merged compartment, modeling of the field to generate a modeling result.

Structural volume segmentation

A method is described in which a seismic data set of a geological survey is provided. A geological discontinuity in the seismic data set is identified. A first parameterization of at least a portion of a first side of the geological discontinuity is identified. A second parameterization of at least a portion of a second side of the geological discontinuity is identified. A plurality of isolines of properties of the first and second parameterizations is determined. A surface of the geological discontinuity is divided according to the isolines. The divided surfaces of the geological discontinuity are mapped.
